8/9/2013- Mets sweep Rockies, White Sox sweep Yankees, NFL Preseason, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week this week! Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Here we go!

MLB
If you're a +New York Mets fan, this must be a good week for you. However, if you're a +New York Yankees fan, this must be the worst week for you. On Monday, the Yankees hosted the +Chicago White Sox in a 3 game set from Monday-Wednesday. What's notable from this game was when Alex Rodriguez returned to the Yankees, despite the announcement about his suspension for the rest of the season and the entire 2014. On Monday, Andy Pettitte had the worst game when he gave up a lot of runs early in the game. The following night, Hiroki Kuroda had a decent game, but he had no run support at all. Wednesday was believed to be the nail in the coffin when Mariano Rivera blew the 1 run lead in the 9th and the game went to Extra Innings. Even though the Yankees scored 5 runs, and CC pitching a decent game after a series of bad performances, they just couldn't get the job done.

Meanwhile for the Mets, they swept the +Colorado Rockies 3 games in a row from Tuesday to Thursday, and played competitive baseball throughout. This weekend, the Yankees will host the red hot Detroit Tigers in a 3 game set, while the Mets will begin a 10 game road trip starting in Arizona against the Diamondbacks later tonight.

Just to note, Alex Rodriguez is in tonight's lineup since he's appealing his suspension. A verdict will likely be heard by the end of the season.

NFL
Tonight, the +New York Jets will be in Ford Field to face the +Detroit Lions in the 1st game of the Jets preseason. Tomorrow night, the +New York Giants will be in Heinz Field to face the +Pittsburgh Steelers. I will post the results, and share my thoughts on Monday.

WWE
This past Monday on Raw kicked off when Stephanie McMahon introduced Daniel Bryan's corporate makeover. It was mostly him well-dressed with a ponytail on. The beard remained the same. Even though Vince attempted to coerce Bryan to have his beard shaved by Wade Barrett, a swerve happened and Bryan shaved Wade Barrett's beard.





Other than that, its been mostly an average Raw with not much highlights to discuss about.

That's all I have to say. Have a good weekend!
